In the router configuration system there should be a place where you can
forward ports on the external interface (the one hooked to the modem) to
the internal interface to which the linux computer is attached. The port
you want to forward is 22. Also most routers have an option which lets
you use a computer on your network as a dmz. This means that all the
ports that are not specifically forwarded elsewhere will go there. If
you choose this your friend will want to be sure he has a firewall
running on the linux box as it will be reachable by the internet.
